Terminus 04:58
By the time the earth will shake There will be nothing left to save Step by step This delusion will mark the end We are the victim We are the perpetrator Deep in the shadows we hide from our lies Narrowed down to the few years we have left What will become of the next generations? Ease me into the nightmare you designed Show me how to live in a world of misery With your hands in the dirt You will find your hurt Dust and ash Leftovers of your passion All laid to rest Trophies of another time Begin to reconstruct Redesign our poisoned minds Deep beneath the surface Lies our darkest secret Take me back to where I came from Open up the ground beneath my feet Take me back to where I came from Please take me back, mother earth

In Control 03:50
Like passing city lights I watch these days go by Moving all too fast For me to comprehend Paralyzed like a fly in a cobweb All my motions oppressed No chance of survival No harbour from this storm Day or night it makes no difference I'm enslaved by my own mind It's Forcing me to watch It is forcing me to sleep Oh hello Do I know you? Don't mind me I'm just a stranger What caught your attention? What are your intentions? You got way too close Drew me from my hideout You broke down all of my barricades the light in your eyes Reconnects me to a real life So is there a chance for me to change Or is everything already set in stone? Can I follow my own aspirations and Take back control? I need a soul See I'm not a cold machine There's no simple solution To be honest I cannot define myself Please take my hand and turn me into to a better man I've had my head in the clouds for too long I've had enough shed my doubts cause I'm Back in control again I'm so tired of this self destruction Of this endless fight against myself All will fall into place Once we lift this curse

The scent of the ashes Spoils the air in my lungs This riot inside me Has a hold of my soul So what should I fight for? Should I fight for your so called liberty? So would I just die for you? I can assure you that I won't die in your name No Not this way You're the shepherd that led his sheep astray I am searching for a sense in all of this When you open your mouth All I hear is the violent sound Remember when you were crowned you used our weakness as feeding ground All you account for Is the dollar in your pocket Sure A life far from the fucking ground floor Yeah I do recognize your love for lies Manipulation and war Tell me what else you got in store We spent our days at the frontline While you show you got no spine You're leading crime to its prime time Remember when you were crowned You used our weakness as a feeding ground What use have our voices if they stay unheard? What do we need our eyes for if we live in the dark? Just living is not enough Feel the fire There's not a single lesson to be learned I am still searching for a sense in all of this Just breathing is not enough Feel the fire Calling out your name Feel the fire blaze

Fugitive 04:42
Imagine a place without fear Without consequence A place where I can run From the things that I have done You know it's too late To comfort me these days With all those questions stuck Inside of my head Have you ever felt the same way? Just listen to the symphony It plays on and on Haunted by the burden of a Flawless state of mind I can't cope with your understanding Of this reality This won't just fade away and I can't keep it silenced For the rest of my life The path that I chose to tread Revealed itself To be nothing more than vicious circle An endless cycle It's way too late to save me from this prison that I've built in my head I am a fugitive Running away from himself I can't stand what I see Inside this fucking mirror Oh my soul is heavy It's dragging me down I feel I can't win I've never won It's never ending It's never enough I hate this silence After everything has fallen down Lost and locked inside myself Lost and locked inside this for too long This won't just fade away And I can't keep it silenced For the rest of my life The path that I chose to tread Revealed itself To be nothing more than vicious circle A neverending cycle

Cloud City 04:33
Breathe in Breathe out Let me show you everything Can you feel the pressure rising Inside of your chest? Don't you worry It will fade in a moment Can you still tell apart reality From fiction? Don't you feel rejected This is right where you belong Are you still alive? Is this everything you dreamed of? A city of light where hearts get fixed A kingdom of mercy for the lost Trust your eyes Believe in what you see Listen closely The trees are talking Hear them moving Growing Adrift Out of the frame You fall Downside up The roots are growing back to the source Faster and faster The shapes begin to alter What seemed so real Was a promise of deception Stay awake You're not alone Don't let it take you down this road Reflections of a bitter past Won't rule over you

Just another day in this messed up world I delete and rewind For a moment I take in All the silence that's surrounding us Moving on Forgetting about the lives we could be leading While the engines move and the lights still flash I'm staying deaf and blind All within Everything on the outside Like a twist of natures' destined path We seek forgiveness In the arms of our own consciousness I am the one I am no one So I will live to tell Of all these nights I drown in this Will I ever stop believing there is hope For the footsteps we're leaving For elusive reasons We're all born with a hole in our hearts For elusive reasons We're all destined to drift apart This is the last chance to escape My ticket to salvation I can see the light shine through the door My only way out of here This is the moment It has finally come And will take me away I move into the light My only way out of here

Heritage 04:17
A weary light So frail So fractional Shining immaterial A little light Slipping through my hands Just like the smallest grain of sand Meant to guide me But merely a burden Dragging me back to the ground Oh dear father The blame is not yours alone Some roads lead nowhere With your arms opened There's only change left to embrace Some words lead nowhere I don't wanna be part of this mess And I don't wanna be part of your world Oh please sever the ties Let my feet leave the ground I will fly alone Oh they say A bond of blood is all that matters But what is it worth f it stays our only connection Oh dear father The blame is not yours alone Some roads lead nowhere With your arms opened There's only change left to embrace I can still see you with your eyes closed in despair I will fly on and on Until my wings will become weak Back to square one again Am I really here? Our hazy memories floating Flooding the back of my mind I can't handle this From the inside out it tears me apart

How Fleeting 03:51
Don't hold me back now I need to live this dream again Because I know how it will all play out I am a traveller on my only journey I've been to the moon and back To learn about distance And what kind of toll it takes On me and my surroundings I felt that I was losing touch Distorted visions of seeing myself Drowning in apathy Still haunt me every night I feel it in my veins Taking a hold of me Stealing the air from my lungs I can't breathe Don't hold me back now I need to live this dream again Because I know how it will all play out In the end we all turn back into dust I've seen all your faces You're with me every step I take I'm not scared anymore You keep my hands on the wheel
9.
How come I feel you here? Has my time run out? Tonight I will face you Once again Is it like they always say? Will I see it all again? An infinite loop of memories Spinning and spinning into nothingness So far apart from the state of the living Is it anything like I am picturing it? And if my time's up Then let me tell you I have no regrets Just hear me out now I can finally let go I'm not afraid anymore My love Don't mourn me Because I'll always be there for you Lights flash before my eyes A mystery unknown Will your sight feel like fire? Illuminate Take my hand Lead me out No matter how this ends I'm done with my amends So will you solemnly embrace me?

Onryo 03:35
Human Behold your kingdom See how you shaped a world That was never meant to be yours Greedy little claws And bloodshot eyes You can not grasp the answers That you're so determined to find What we have done can not be erased Corruption spreads in all directions All we have now is the fear of change The inability to see What we have made of this world Can't you smell it in the air? Don't you taste it in the water? Lost within a city of steel No one can leave No one is free Why are you afraid of what you might find When you take a look beneath your skin? I can't fix this I can't escape this Haunt me

Starseeker 06:22
I feel the cold in my bones all thoughts are leaving me I feel the weight on my chest Can't keep my eyes open anymore I am suddenly feeling so light Am I set free from the boundaries of earth? Endlessly far away Drifting off Connection lost Let me feel infinity Blinding streams of colour passing through me Oh is this the end? Or the start of something new? Will this be the end? Or the start of something new? Let me feel infinity Can I find my place among the stars? An ocean of light awaits Left behind this mortal shell To reach into the depths of the unknown Diving down Down the rabbit hole What is there for me to discover? I found the right place A place where nothing burdens me I am everywhere Everywhere and nowhere I feel the cold in my bones But my thoughts are in focus now Oh I feel relieved from the weight My eyes are opened wide
12.
How Fragile 05:33
Turn the stones Find out what lies beneath Is this what you've been looking for? Or is it just another possiblity? A sea of doubts Surrounding every step Can you feel the weight of the unknown? Let go Let yourself drift away Don't fear what you can not change Your head is a like a thin piece of glass Reflecting every beam of light Your lungs made of cellophane Breathing out the smoke The dust How fleeting is a moment in time? How fragile is the essence of life?
